+# ZkVM Metering tool
+- The aim of this tool is to analyze resource usage of ZkVM opcodes
+using [heaptrack](https://github.com/KDE/heaptrack).
+- We have a proof generator and verifier to profile each ZkVM Opcode.
+- The `generator` generates a proof, verifying key and public inputs
+for all the proofs stored in `generator/proof`.
+- Each Zk script file in `generator/proof` contains a single ZkVM
+opcode.
+- The `generator` saves it's outputs to disk for later use by the
+`verifier`.
+- The `verifier` loads the proof, verifying key and public inputs and
+verifies a single proof at a time identified by the opcode name.
+
+#### Steps to profile a ZkVM Opcode
+
+To generate the proofs go to `generator` directory and run these
+commands.
+```
+% make
+% ./generator
+```
+To verify the proof and profile all the opcodes go to `verifier` and
+run these commands. You need to install `heaptrack` before running the
+second command. 
+```
+% make
+% ./run_heaptrack.sh
+```
+`run_heaptrack.sh` will generate `heaptrack` report for all the opcodes
+in `output` directory. If you prover to analyze a single opcode run 
+the following.
+```
+% heaptrack ./verifer [OPCODE_NAME]
+```
+Once the `heaptrack` report is generated you can view it using `heaptrack_gui`. 
+
+#### Analysis Results
